Solon throws P38 M in two nights

Congress is not even on recess yet, but this neophyte congressman apparently had had too much stress from the post that he so easily won despite his widely-perceived lack of qualification for it. So about two weeks ago, he went to Macau for a couple of nights at the casinos.

Anyway, he ended up losing P38 million, he casually told friends. It’s his own money, mind you, but it’s still P38 million, if we are to believe that he’s not bloating the figures to brag.

But then, what makes throwing away his private millions in gambling any different from President Aquino buying a pre-owned Porsche with his own money?

No public funds were used, but it still offended sensitivities. How can a public official flaunt his wealth while his constituents are reeling from economic difficulties?

Of course, the congressman can say he’s been doing missions and charities, and building infra even before he got elected, and what he does with his hard-earned money is none of his constituents’ business. Maybe. But then it could also make them think: Thousands of children could have been sent to school, and thousands more of sick people could have been treated if their congressman had wisely invested that P38 million.

how can you be sure the money is his own? no one will just throw away 38M unless its not his, or that he can easily reccover that amount without a sweat. Newsbreak, please name this solon so that CoA or whoever is authorized to closely audit his cashflow, especially since its pork season.

from what area of this country this solon?clue pls..newsbreak pls.name this solon..people are entitled to know about this..any person who earned this huge amount in a legal way would not that just throw his/her hard earned money in a senseless way.

If its money, so be it. Yep, it would be true that the sum could have done a lot to help others, but hey..its his way of releasing stress, may be regarded as insensitive but I say insecurity for those (including me) who don’t have 38M to spend. As long as its not a habit, can be admissable!

this rumor has been percolating for the last few weeks. no doubt it is manny pacquiao despite newsbreak failing to cite that the congressman in question is a boxer or at least a sportsman . the thrill of gambling has started to corrupt manny much like mayweather. i hope these losses do not affect the funding for his planned hospital for his province !

expect pacman to fight past his prime despite his declaration to the contrary.

if its easy for him to earn that much money, then it’ll be very easy for him to spend it for whatever or wherever he wants to. but, if its from our taxes then, thats the we should… hmmm …say, cut his head off? hahahaa (kung pwede lang naman…)

it was manny.
no doubt celebrating that he will not be prosecuted for tax evasion.
it wasnt his money but yours. i.e unpaid taxes.
how stupid is this country.
pacquio should do some work
not does endorsing tacky products.

This thing is just a nosy publication, why would you publish an issue where you have no proof? This reporter should go back to schooling, gossip items is not a healthy reporting. They should by bounded by truth and should be aided by proof. What a silly performance by this reporter.

Reminds me of the late Joe Louis. Joe made a lot more than Mr. P at height of his glory (if indeed Mr. P is the big shot). Joe died poor and in front of national TV cameras he made the now famous statement: ” I HAVE BEEN POOR, I HAVE BEEN RICH. I LIKE BEING RICH BETTER”.

But the American public took it in stride. It is nobody’s damn business what he does with his own money! ! !

Could it be a “ploy” to publicise this suppose-to-be-loss so it can be entered in the “loss” for his BIR income tax return? If it is. What a crook he is. Instead of giving it to the government coffers, He manipulated it. On the other hand “he” might be someone who do not trust the government which ironically he is a part . What a jerk>

dont comment if you’re ignorant on the subject. gambling losses can only be deducted from gambling winnings! idiot. it’s his money, he earned it the hard way, unlike p-noy who got his porsche as gift from a supporter who probably will be rewarded by fat contracts.

The bright red icon on the left hand side of this page should have warned you that Inside Track is about gossip. If you don’t want to read gossip, then don’t read Inside Track! Period. Nobody’s forcing you! But leave it to the rest of us who enjoy a bit of fun every now and then.
